Section 257.18 - Expenses and fees

(a) An administrative fee per party shall be charged by the board for its administrative services.

(b) The arbitrator's per diem fee, certified in advance by the arbitrator to the board and listed on the arbitrator's resume, shall be the rate charged to the parties. Compensation for the services of an arbitrator, including required travel and other necessary and incidental expenses, shall be borne completely by the parties. Each party shall pay 50 percent of such fees and expenses, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties.

(c) An arbitrator who requires the payment of an adjournment fee in the event of a postponement or cancellation of a scheduled hearing by either or both parties, shall give proper notice on his or her resume. Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties, the party responsible for such adjournment shall pay the entire fee, and in the case where both parties require adjournment, each party shall pay 50 percent of such adjournment fee.

(d) Since the designated arbitrator is not an agent or representative of the board, all matters involving arbitrator payments and compensation are to be resolved between the parties and the arbitrator directly.
